I’m not sure it gets more #basic than owning Justin Beiber’s CD. I might as well be holding a PSL, while telling you “I’m Team Selena,” but still really like all his new music……which let’s face it, is likely to happen.

While being basic may not be a good thing, having a wardrobe of full of classic items is. So, in a new series, I’ll be sharing my favorite basics, along with some of my more embarrassing interests.

First up is the leather jacket. For me, that means a motorcycle version. For years, I’d worn my vegan leather (pleather) around town and then, finally bit the bullet and picked up a real one. It’s one of the best purchases I’ve made in the last year and half.

I wear it all the time. All. The. Time. Because, it is cooler than I am.

See, in this photo, you have no idea my car is filled with stuffed animals. I look like a regular person just strolling along.

If wearing a moto style isn’t your thing, then look for a version that fits your look. I swear you’ll find yourself reaching for it all the time.

Also, if you haven’t picked up a pair of lace-up flats or wedges yet, do it. I wear mine all the time and feel a little chicer every time I slip them on.
